I've got a 40GB drive and the first 20GB contains Windoze XP. I can mount this manually fine. I can mount it automatically too. But if I try to access it as non-root I get:
$ cd /windoze bash: cd: /windoze: Permission denied Permissions on my /windoze directory are: dr-x------ 1 root root 8192 2007-07-29 17:49 windoze If I umount /windoze and change the permissions they seem to revert back to the above after I reboot. Accessing it as root works fine, but I would like to access it as a regular user. Aside: I read in some tux documentation that for Windows 2000 and Windows XP you can change the type to vfat and get read/write access to the partition. This would be great but I am sceptical that it is dangerous to mount rw under ntfs type but okay under vfat. My fstab file is: # /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/sda1 /windoze ntfs user,auto,noexec,ro 0 0 /dev/sda2 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1 /dev/sda8 /home ext3 defaults 0 2 /dev/sda7 /tmp ext3 defaults 0 2 /dev/sda5 /usr ext3 defaults 0 2 /dev/sda6 /var ext3 defaults 0 2 /dev/sda3 none swap sw 0 0 /dev/hda /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0 $ fdisk -l Disk /dev/sda: 40.0 GB, 40007761920 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 4864 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1 2432 19535008+ 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/sda2 2433 2493 489982+ 83 Linux /dev/sda3 4621 4863 1951897+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/sda4 2494 4620 17085127+ 5 Extended /dev/sda5 2494 3101 4883728+ 83 Linux /dev/sda6 3102 3466 2931831 83 Linux /dev/sda7 3467 3527 489951 83 Linux /dev/sda8 3528 4620 8779491 83 Linux Partition table entries are not in disk order $ Any help is appreciated.
